Deck on roof of South Loop building catches fire, sending heavy smoke over neighborhood
CHICAGO - Heavy smoke poured over the South Loop on Saturday afternoon when a deck on a rooftop caught fire.
The fire was on top of a building at South State Street and East 16th/East 15th.
No one was hurt, but the Chicago Fire Department said that some residences might have extensive water damage. The building is the old Siegel Cooper and Company building and has been transformed into apartments.
Video from FOX 32 Chicago Traffic Reporter Bryesha Adams shows the deck fully engulfed in flames. Another neighbor shared more video in which the fire appeared to be basically out.
